this is my first attempt. i'm not entirely sure how to work this. not technically (i think i've got it figured out), but content-wise -- what to include, what not to include, should i be clever, meditative, etc. in short, how to represent myself. because, unlike the paper version of this strange personal artifact, this is a public account and constitutes a whole new and alien dynamic as far as journals go.

i just realized that my user name is much like that of my former almost roomate jen. not intentional but not surprising as she was my first introduction into blogworld, and the sub-conscious is sticky like that. just thought i'd own up to that up front.

i am a fraud.

somehow it seems as though if you acknowledge mimicry it redeems you. what was once plagiarism becomes allusion, and the hack ascends the ranks to be an author of homage.

ok. this is not a good blog so far.

david says that the key to a good blog is listing. so here goes:

top ten best songs ever written:

1. pansie pants, by red loop
2. more bang, by mr. lib
3. loveliness asks nought, by the gape
4. so what? by everyone anyone
5. love, love, love, by the f'ire mongers
6. none of this is true, by c.m.e.
7. don't look twice, by fabricator
8. fascination, by ice structure 7
9. should have been a ghost, by d.v. day
10. believe me, lover, by glassface

ok. better post this before it gets too ridiculous. see what comes of it. who knows? i may get obsessed.
